What kind of vessels do you clean?

many many years ago I had something similar but hydraulic powered, cost me a fortune, big, heavy but I absolutely enjoyed the work and the money but now at 73y old, I love your product, way cheaper to buy then in the old days, it brings me back to my youth. to start all over if only

Hydraulic machines are typically too powerful and unwieldy to be used in the cleaning of small pleasure craft. I've known a few who have done it that way but in my 26 years in the business, they are very few and far in between.

@@Zillxoz While they are amazing at what they do, cavitation cleaners are not really useful for all over, everyday hull cleaning. They simply do not cover enough territory fast enough to be efficient. And the price? OMG. I think for pleasure craft hull cleaning, a 4000 psi pressure washer is a better choice for very foul surfaces.

I clean hulls in SW FL would you recommend this for here? We have barnacles after about 2 weeks here. I am in love with this machine but worry the barnacles would make the brushes wear out too fast causing it to be not cost effective

I've noticed in other videos, the paint rubs off with a hand swipe or a brush stroke. What keeps this from happening with the romora solo?

@fstbttms

Proper brush choice and rotation speed keeps the paint on the hull, where it belongs.

It depends on the type of antifoul used, wether it’s ablative or non ablative.....!?

if i have a remora - do i even need to bottom paint? also, if use ablative paint, is it a problem in terms of rubbing off paint? GREAT TOOL.

@fstbttms

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, you will still want anti fouling paint on your hull regardless of the tool you use to clean it. And with the proper brush and rotation speed, the Remora will not do any more damage to your ablative paint than cleaning by hand will. Maybe less, to be honest.

It does a great job of taking off the old bottom paint so the owner has to repaint before one year instead of 3 years its good for Divers and bad for Boat Captain

The neglected bottom paint on this boat was not in good condition and was quite foul. No cleaning method that adequately removed this level of fouling would be kind to the paint. But maybe you didn't watch the video. You certainly don't know much about hull cleaning 😄

Great Video and thanks for sharing information. What is the cost of cleaning a sailboat? Say under 40ft and 40-50ft. I am looking at both and want to keep it clean... :) Thank you

@fstbttms

100% dependent upon location and state of fouling. Where I am in the Bay Area, we charge $3.75/foot for a sailboat bottom in good condition. In SoCal, it might be as much as $2/foot less. Prices vary widely from region to region.

May I know how long the battery can survive in the water? Thanks

@@fstbttms Nico is right. Just because there is no regulation in some places (yet) it does not mean that this practice is acceptable morally. In a few years you will be obliged to gather all this crap that is left behind. Especially if you conduct this operation inside a port. That's why filters will become obligatory in future devices.

@fstbttms

Nico is not right and neither are you. Neither of you are well versed enough on the subject to make the comments you have. Studies have proven that the in-water hull cleaning of recreational vessels contributes a small fraction of the total amount of copper released into the water column by anti fouling paints, something on the order of 5%. And in case you weren't aware, metal-based anti fouling paints leach their biocide 24/7/365 until it is all gone, whether or not the boat ever moves and whether or not the hull is ever cleaned. Further, there is nothing "immoral" about in-water hull cleaning, as you infer. It is a necessary part of regular boat maintenance as it reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions as well as the transport of invasive species to other ports.
